Our first
international meeting without students was held in Caserta (Italy) from the 3rd
to the 7th of October 2016. Teacher Amparo and me were looking forward to
meeting those who were going to become Project colleagues and close friends
during our adventure together.

We flew to
Naples on Saturday on the 1st of October and slept over in the city to enjoy
its magnificent Baroque churches and palaces and walk around its atmospheric
and lively narrow streets. On Sunday , we took to train to Caserta where we had
rented a nice apartment for the week.

On Monday 3rd of October, we headed for
the Liceo Scientifico Antonio Díez in Caserta , where we met the rest of the
teachers coming from Finland, Wales, Reunión y Portugal. We had a welcome
reception from the authorities and each educative center participating in the
project showed our school backgrounds in the Assembly Room to the rest of the
international teams

In the
afternoon , we visited the Royal Palace of Caserta.

On Tuesday ,we
were taught through several presentations led by the Italian students the
migrant drama in Campania ( figures, data and organizations which fight against
migrants´explotaition by the different mafias) . We also got to know more about
the integration and educative programmes to help these migrants in their
vocational formation to try to find a job.

We had an
afternoon workshop where we discussed the convenient dates for the following
meetings:

Last 25th of January, we held an Erasmus
meeting in our High School to present the activities we are planning to
implement during the week from the 24th -28th of April. We are designing mostly artistic and
interactive activities related to Cooking, Photography and Music. The main
objectives are to show how interculturality and diversity are best represented
and accomplished in the collaborative work of students with different ethnic
and cultural backgrounds .The results of these workshops will show how young
generations enrich and lead their lives with understanding and respect of the
diversity found in the globalised culture existing in our modern society. As
you can see from the photo , a lot of teachers from our High School are willing
to participate in this adventure since this Erasmus project is included in the
Educative yearly programming of our High School.

There will also be examples of
good practice of NGO´s which work hard to make a better world and the way we,
as young volunteers, can contribute to improve the living conditions of the
underpriviledged and those in risk of social exclusión if we actively
participate as European citizen in those organizations and institutions. We
hope their example will be followed by the younger generations.
